The Bedford Police Department is still searching for the driver of a silver sedan who hit and seriously injured a cyclist on Carlisle Road on Tuesday evening.

“The Bedford Police department is actively investigating several promising leads on the vehicle involved in the hit and run accident from June 20th. This remains an active and open investigation," Bedford Chief of Police Robert Bongiorno said. "The public is still urged to call the Bedford Police at 781-275-1212 with any information.”

The victim, a 63 year old Carlisle resident, was riding a bicycle along Carlisle Road near the bridge over the Carlisle river when they were struck by a vehicle around 6 p.m. The vehicle was reported to be a silver sedan, perhaps a Honda Civic or a similar type of car, with bedding or a sheet blocking out the rear window. The victim is currently being treated at Lahey Clinic for serious injuries.

"I encourage anyone who may have information about this vehicle to come forward," Bongiorno said. "Leaving the scene of a crash is a serious matter, and we are actively investigating."
